Creamy Cilantro Salad Dressing image

This is my best take on the dressing that is used in the El Torito restaurants in southern California. Be sure to toss some roasted pepitas and crumbled Cotija or Manchengo cheese on top of your salad for the full effect!

I've tried a lot of cilantro salad dressings, but this one is by far my favorite. It's so creamy and has the perfect amount of spice. I love it on tacos, salads, and even as a dip for chips.
